Subject: For Loop

Hello All,

I am starting to experiment with Ruby for Sys Admin tasks.  Now, I have
been working with Shell scripting for a few years now.  Currently, I am
trying to figure out how I can create a "for loop" in Ruby.

In bash, I have the following: (the following is what I would like to
translate in Ruby but can't seem to figure this out)

BASH - here, I am trying to copy a few files to the same server in one
shot

for groups in "Account File" \
              "Bank File" \
              "Study Case" \
              "Overall Status" ;
do
              scp $groups user@server1:/tmp
done


For Ruby, I tried -

for group in Account File",
              "Bank File",
              "Study Case",
              "Overall Status"
do
              (scp groups user@server1:/tmp)
end

Of course, I get syntax errors everywhere.  I am not sure how to use a
for loop in this case.  Any input?

Thanks,
G
